Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century ormolu-mounted furniture often draws inspiration from earlier French court styles such as Louis XIV, XV, and XVI, combining rich burl veneers with cast gilt-bronze mounts and intricate marquetry.

These pieces typically feature a carcase of secondary softwoods or oak, faced with figured walnut veneers, intricate boxwood and fruitwood marquetry, and fire-gilded brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer linings, genuine fire-gilt ormolu rather than electroplated brass, and natural age-related shrinkage in the timber and veneers.

Pairing a richly figured nineteenth-century bookcase with contemporary minimalist furniture and neutral walls creates a sophisticated contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the wood and metalwork.

Maintain a stable room temperature and relative humidity to prevent veneer lifting, keep the piece away from direct sunlight, and dust gently with a dry, soft cloth while avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
